- Our seasons and weather- Our beautiful countryside- Sense of humour and our self-depreciating wit- Bacon sandwiches- Full English breakfasts- Sunday roasts- A lazy Sunday afternoon pint in a country pub- Pubs generally and pub banter. And pork scratchings- Builders Tea- The BBC- 1970 and 1980's classic BBC sitcoms- David Attenborough- The opening ceremony to the 2012 Olympic Games.- The 2012 Olympic Games- Our underdog status in sport and how we often triumph against adversity (except in football)- 6 nations rugby- History- Innovations - quite incredible how many things have been invented by us lot- The NHS- David Attenborough- Our music - how many good bands have come from the UK?- The efforts of pull-together attitude of our fore-fathers in WWII and other wars. Immensely proud of my grandparents and relatives who gave their day for us to have ours.- We punch above our weight- Beating Australia in the 2003 rugby final- Beating Germany 5-1 in Munich

and that's just off the top of my head. It's too easy and perceived to be the 'in thing' to knock us. I LOVE this country.
